The week of Nov. 25-Dec. 1, looking back in five-year intervals

1897: Ray Benedict's 35-yard run in the second half gives Nebraska a 6-0 win against a surprisingly stubborn Iowa team in Council Bluffs. The game ended with Iowa at the NU 10 yard line.

1902: With a 12-0 win over Nothwestern, Nebraska completes the season unbeaten, untied and unscored upon. But the Western Conference is not impressed enough with NU's on-the-rise program to grant it admission, as the applications of the Cornhuskers and Notre Dame are rejected.

1907: After giving up just 35 points in their first nine games, the Cornhuskers allow nearly that total in the season finale as they fall 34-0 at St. Louis.

1917: NU scores a touchdown in the final moments but misses the extra point in a 10-9 loss to Syracuse.

1972: Middle guard Rich Glover is the top vote-getter on the UPI All-America team, and he's the subject of some Heisman talk. Johnny Rodgers, meanwhile, deals with character questions among Heisman voters and loses out to Iowa State's George Amundson for AP Big Eight offensive player of the year.
